About 0130-0230, 11 NOV 99. Observed 5-7 steady red lights in a wedge formation. While formation was moving across sky, it suddenly changed to a roughly circular formation. Altittude of lights was airliner height or greater. Formation traveled across sky in an estimated 3-5 seconds in a SSW direction. I was a former Air Force aircrewman on an E-3 Sentry. I currently maintain avionic systems on Navy T-2C Buckeye trainer aircraft. At time of sighting, airfield was closed.
